How much did all of you lose in your first week? Also for women, have periods caused any problems with fluid retention or a “slow” week?

I just got home from weigh in and I’m down 4. 9 Coach noticed some water retention but I also am dealing with my menstruated cycle ugh! She thinks That I will plateau because right now I’ve shocked my body I’m all about the inches though That’s what motivates me more than the scale

Mine was slow and steady. The week I lost 8lbs, 2 lbs of it was my leg cast being removed lol. My weight in tomorrow, I should be down 3-4lbs. Haven’t noticed a huge difference with my period. I still feel bloated and break out but have still managed to have a loss

My first week was a little over 8lbs. My week before my period I always have bloat and it’s a low weight loss week. But the week after is always good to me

I always seem to gain or remain the same in the 10-12 days surrounding my period.

Everyone loses different in week one due to their glycogen/water tank. I lose 12lbs in week one. Did I do anything different than someone who loses 3lbs? No. I simply carry more glycogen in my muscles and liver (and have a higher muscle mass than most women my height and size). Whatever you lose in your first week will be what your coach should advise you that you will lose IF you put carbs back in for your maintenance (or if you deviate from plan! ) I say IF, as many of us adopt a low carb lifestyle ongoing. You can stay low carb by adding fats on to our plate when you maintain vs burning our own. I’m a coach and IP owner for 7 years, and pharmacist for 19! Keep up YOUR own journeys  Do what’s right for you!
